Lode Gold Deposits: Analysis and Implications for Exploration
Réal Daigneault, Ph.D., Damien Gaboury, Ph. D. (Université du Québec à Chicoutimi)
The workshop will focus on the mechanisms of vein formation and their organization, the role of deformation, as well as their paragenesis and zonality. The workshop will also cover geometric processing with examples from test cases and a data processing exercise.
Petit-Frontenac Room: 9:00 a.m. to noon and 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. (French only)

The workshop will begin by addressing the technical aspects of the formation and prevention of acid mine drainage. The various assay predictions will be explained so participants can judge the results. Certain management models as well as recent developments will be covered. Part of the afternoon will be devoted to the legal aspects, and the standard procedures for obtaining environmental permits will be presented. A presentation of real-life examples will conclude the workshop.
